Symbaroum - Advanced Player's Guide

Dorael-Ri had tracked them all the way from the settlement of Merel, at the border of Davokar. A small, human child – one of few to survive the massacre – had asked how he dared to travel the woods alone. “In Davokar you are never alone,” he had answered. “Not me, nor you, no one…”

Aided by mystical rituals Dorael had managed to follow the cold tracks, but now the enemy was close enough for his friend and servant, the owl Strigi, to take over the hunt. He raised his black sword, took a deep breath and placed the Horn Mask over his face; vengeful spirits immediately flocked around him, veiling him from the world.

The sword quivered in his hand, hungering for tainted flesh and blood.

He put the hallowed sword back in its scabbard and drew the shorter blade that had belonged to his sister. Soon he lunged through the forest, with Strigi soaring at his side. The first enemy fell before any of the cultists realized that the avenger had come.

The Advanced Player’s Guide expands on every aspect of the Player’s Guide section in the Symbaroum Core Rulebook and is equally useful for players and Game Masters. The book is brimming with new races, occupations, abilities, powers and rituals, also with lots of new equipment that will influence how the game is played. Moreover, if you take all optional rules in regard, along with its contribution to the expansion of the game world, it is hardly any doubt that the Advanced Player’s Guide is a must for everyone who cannot wait to walk further into the shadowy halls of Davokar!

Featured Content

Five new playable races, in the form of Abducted Human, Dwarf, Elf, Troll and Undead.

About twenty new occupations, out of which some are so called Professions that the characters can strive to reach – for example Inquisitor, Monster Hunter, Wrath Guard and Troll Singer.

A system of Boons and Burdens, effective in problem solving situations and perfect for adding color to the player character.

About fifty new Abilities and Rituals – some exclusive for members of the Professions, others only available to certain archetypes.

Rules on the crafting of artifacts and items, along with creatable Lesser Artifacts and Mystical Qualities to infuse into the masterworks.

Alchemical weapons in the form of explosive grenades and fire tubes, the latter either stationary or carried by members of the occupation Sapper.

The Table of Content, you mean? The ToC is two pages, so maybe scroll down? :-)

In any case, the book is 136 pages long.

PUBLISHER

You mean print-on-demand? The "real" printed version will be available from the Modphius store by the end of March, then hit retailers in mid-May. A print-on-demand edition will launch in time with the latter date.

A great add on to Symbaroum core rulebook. Adds lots of additional content around characeter races, classes, abilities and expands the equipment list. The artwork is fanstastic, matching that in the core rulebook. However, the layour of the book [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
